Poor old New York has been captured at last,
Broadway is up in the air,
we lost our hearts to a girl with a past,
dear little sweet Polly Claire,
You'll hear them sing ev'rywhere.

Polly, pretty Polly,
she's a jolly little dame,
Polly's created some talk,
Polly's the talk of New York.
Polly, pretty Polly,
Fun and folly is her aim,
a future at last,
for a girl with a past,
Pretty Polly is her name.

Polly, pretty Polly,
she's a jolly little dame,
Polly's created some talk,
Polly's the talk of New York.
Polly, pretty Polly,
Fun and folly is her aim,
a future at last,
for a girl with a past,
Pretty Polly is her name.

David Belasco's to blame for it all
he brought the girl into sight,
even invited New Yorkers to call,
Polly's at home ev'ry night,
Now we all sing with delight.

Polly, pretty Polly,
she's a jolly little dame,
Polly's created some talk,
Polly's the talk of New York.
Polly, pretty Polly,
Fun and folly is her aim,
a future at last,
for a girl with a past,
Pretty Polly is her name.

Polly, pretty Polly,
she's a jolly little dame,
Polly's created some talk,
Polly's the talk of New York.
Polly, pretty Polly,
Fun and folly is her aim,
a future at last,
for a girl with a past,
Pretty Polly is her name.
